How about implementing a feature to enable TSOP Flashing, Like the Matrix flash TSOP bios but with the ability to work with any modchip and any version Xbox not just v.1.0!

Well, this should have been done already. Team Xodus, on their own support forums, told me that there was going to be a special BIOS released for the Chameleon that allows TSOP flashing SOON!!!! Soon??? Apparenly soon means within 5 years. That question/answer was 2 weeks after the Chameleon came out. They also told me that it was impossible to flash the TSOP with the Chameleon until that BIOS comes out.

Assholes.

Yeah, i have had the same findings, owning a chameleon myself.
I'm still wondering whether this version of bios will enable TSOP flashing, someone has already suggested that it does work in the TSOP forum.
I'll test it this weekend using the latest dash.

Evox released that bios a few days ago.

Really? It allows you to flash the TSOP with a Chameleon?

Damn. I'm retarded.

They're still assholes though.

Edit: I see it now. I guess I just overlooked it. I'm dumb. Still assholes though.

I am wondering if it is possible for the developers to integrate "libcdio" into a bios? This would be similar to "DAEMON TOOLS " which would allow you to mount a backed up DVD image and basically trick "DVDX" into thinking the image was the internal DVD drive and allow playback? The reason I ask is that I currently back up my DVD's to my PC drive or the XBOX's internal drive (upgraded to 120 gig) and use either relax to stream or the XBOX's internal drive in conjuction with XBMP, but the biggest limatation is the lack of DTS pass thru support in XBMP which DVDx has by default.

Thank you in advance!!

it worked a charm for me. are you using it correctly?

the idea is to flash your mod chip with tsop_d6.bin, boot your xbox, and the front light will sit there flashing orange, you then disconnect the d0 line, and it boots up like usual. now flash the tsop and your all done. the only problem is that its then a barstard to get the tsop_d6 bios OFF the mod chip and replace it with D6 or whatever.

please DONT try and flash your tsop with it! it WILL NOT WORK!

So you're saying that it worked like a charm for you. But are you also telling me to not flash my tsop because it won't work?

I'm confused.

ViPeR-7

Can you tell me what version xbox you tried it on and what modchip you used+mode settings.

Explain exactly what you did so i can see what could be wrong!

no, im just saying you need to flash your MODCHIP with tsop_d6 and your TSOP with evox_d6

if you flash your TSOP with tsop_d6 you will have a barstard of a time fixing it and it WONT WORK

Oh, alright. See, I was confused.

ok, if the bios freaks wanna really impress me and make a happy little mush man give me full use of my ide chain? Ta know let me drop that wieght of a dvd and put in another HDD. Please, I have been asking in the irc channels but noone seems to think of it or something. Thanks in advance I know you will get right on it.

Just for everyone's information - if you accidentally flash a 256k bios to a 1 meg TSOP you can still make it work, all you have to do is select the first block of the TSOP by grounding A18 and A19...

ViPeR-7 · « **Reply #207 on:** September 20, 2003, 11:18:00 PM »

yeah, but meh

desertboy · « **Reply #208 on:** September 21, 2003, 01:37:00 PM »

Surprised no one has said it but a legal homebrew bios (at least legal in europe) that boot original software and homebrew.

More likely to be implemented into xbtool.

Ability to play a video off the HD for boot up sequence instead of imbedded in bios.

Ability to turn the network port on and off, so live users can let siblings use their chipped xbox's without worrying about their younger brother getting them banned.

That sounds a whole lot better and easier to implement than "a BIOS that displays an error message when live is activated."
